Not wanting to start the usually oil change debate, but I have NEVER disconnected to crank or cam sensor. In January my car got mapped at 416bhp at 97K miles so cannot have done any damaged by doing a normal oil change. I accept pre-filling the filter as we do it on diesel engines where the oil filters can hold over a litre of oil, but why is the Subaru engine so different in that you disconnect a sensor. Have never done the likes in 26 years of car ownership and who knows how many works engines I have serviced.

Was this not more prevelant on the PPP cars due to the generic mapping? It seems strange to me that a flat four engine, where the vertical height in less, is more suseptable that a straight four or a V formation engine where the vertical height is greater.

That bottom one's a BMW aero engine but it demonstrates my point. All engines are not the same, just as all cars are not the same. Different engine designs have different strengths and weaknesses.
Different engines are different sizes and shapes, oilways are different sizes and shapes, oil pumps are different sizes, flow rates and capacities. Journal bearings are different sizes, ECUs are different and allow different periods of time between engagement of the starter and initiation of spark and fuel. etc. etc. etc.
It seems strange to me that a flat four engine, where the vertical height in less, is more suseptable that a straight four or a V formation engine where the vertical height is greater.
Question: Given your general argument - that appears to be more or less that one engine is more or less the same as another, why is it that only Toyota make cars whose accelerator pedals stick to the floor?
